Financial Incentives for Domestic Manufacturing
To further incentivize domestic manufacturing of medical devices, the government introduced the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme.
With a substantial financial outlay of Rs. 3,420 crore and a tenure from FY 2020–21 to FY 2027–28, this scheme offers financial incentives to selected companies.
These incentives, equivalent to 5 percent of incremental sales of medical devices manufactured in India, apply to four target segments of the scheme over a period of five years.
In conclusion, Gujarat’s medical device park in Nagalpar represents a significant leap forward for the medtech industry in India.
